Show HN: Claude Composer

Central feature is a something like "yolo mode" but with fine grained controls over how yolo you're feeling. Also makes it easy to use "presets" of tools and permissions.

Let me know if you have any questions and feel free to contact me on X at https://x.com/possibilities

I read the description of what this is (nb. maybe move that to the top instead of the middle of the page?), and I don't think I understand what problem it solves.

> Reduced interruptions: Automatically handles permission dialogs based on configurable rules

Why? Claude Code already gives you the option to accept requests permanently going forward. The cost of configuring rules is worse than the cost of just telling Claude Code "yes and you don't need to ask again".

I'd like to see a few motivating user stories, tbh.

I have a lot of different projects, scenarios, and edge cases where it's helpful to me.

I think you will find that if you're interactive mode there will always be some dialogs to dismiss, especially if you're jumping around a lot of different projects, etc. So for me the goals are somewhere at the intersection of the interactive mode and unattended operation.

It depends what your goals are for sure. TBH I use it mostly in full yolo mode. But toolsets are much more useful for me. I can create groups of mcps and pre-allowed permissions and reuse that "preset". I have different types of projects that I use different toolsets for each.

But yeah, I hear you. This is pretty niche and might solve problems that only I care about.

I like the notifications part! I may try this just for that one feature..

Thank you.. :-)

Good chance this will ultimately end up being part of a set of training wheels that I'll take off gradually as I am able to move work over to using non-interactive instances of CC.

If you like the idea but they aren't working the way you'd like let me know. They aren't very "well baked" but I'll dump some time into improving at some point. If you have pain points or feedback I'll be happy to consider it.

BTW, I also intend to add some way to send push notifications of some sort. I need to be reminded when Claude is done hustling and and it's time to leave the comfort of my iced coffee on the patio for a keyboard and glowing terminal screen.

Also, good call, I wiggled the readme around a bit. Thanks!

I suggest a video on the README and breaking up that entire README into docs because it's too much content, then writing a much shorter README that gives people the answer they want coming into the page
